One of our own #wawx members is recovering from a pretty bad bout of Covid. He's been in the community for a decade plus now, I've talked with him on Twitter since I joined the platform.
If any of you guys have an acct over there, go and wish him a speedy further recovery.
Hey all, I'm officially new to this forum but I've lurked around here every once in a few days since December 2021 to follow on the snow forecasts, and ever since I just generally lurked to follow the weather while learning things bit by bit.
I withheld on making an account because I don't have anything to contribute, I believe, and I wasn't sure how a newbie or an outsider would be treated. I have a very vague sense on how to read GFS or ECMWF maps but have no idea how to use them to pred
The average for Sequim is only around 5" this time of year, it only takes a few storms for them to reach that average. Similar to the East side of the state. Those big rainfalls this year missed us only 10-15 miles west of them. This over producing shadow has been a theme since June 2022 now. Hence our growing departures. Due to this, the pressure on the elwha watershed has increased as it is the primary water source for the area. Add in the decreased snow pack this year, and it looks like a long summer for us.
You're right. The 25 year average for Port Angeles (1999-2024) for Jan 1 - May 5 is 11.91" and so far only 7.49" have fallen. Interestingly the departure is not nearly as bad for other nearby stations (such as Sequim) so the shadow must have been particularly unusual in the Port Angeles area so far this year.
So @TT-SEA you ignored my question for a lookup of Port Angeles Int Airport departures. I don't know how you access departures so I did a round about method. Below is the climate average for the PA airport station from 1991-2020. If you add the rain from Jan-April you land at 11.72"
Here is the reported YTD rain amounts circled below of 7.73". A departure of -4". You can stop gaslighting me now.
